This is Confidential's weekly round-up of events around town worth noting — some because of what happened and others because of what might happen.

LET FREEDOMS RING "Rockwell, Roosevelt & the Four Freedoms," on exhibit at the New-York Historical Society on the Upper West Side from May 25-Sept. 2, celebrates the 75th anniversary of Norman Rockwell's 1943 paintings Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Fear and Freedom from Want. "The world was at war and Americans were questioning why they should join the fight when President Roosevelt first articulated the Four Freedoms," NYHS head Louise Mirrer told the Daily News. "Through Rockwell's artful representation of these pillars of American democracy … we're reminded of the values on which our nation is based — an important lesson in today's turbulent world." — Joe Dziemianowicz

LUCKY 'LADY' "Our Lady of 121st Street," opening Sunday at Signature Center, marks Phylicia Rashad's Off-Broadway directing debut. The Tony-winning actress guides her cast through twists and turns and hugs and hurts in Stephen Adly Guirgis' 2002 character-driven dark comedy set in Harlem and in motion by the death of beloved teacher, Sister Rose. There are issues: The nun's body's been stolen; the mourners are all among the walking wounded. Rashad's ace ensemble includes Hill Harper as an L.A. radio host with regrets, Quincy Tyler Bernstine as his bitter ex-wife and John Doman as a priest with faltering faith. — J.D.

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER Storied punk rock club CBGB came out for an encore on Thursday, nearly 12 years after its Bowery location was shut down. The Morrison Hotel Gallery in SoHo hosted a reception for the "CBGB: The Age of Punk" photo exhibition, which attracted rockers past and present. Attendees include Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, whose band Blondie got their start at CBGB. Rock photographers Mick Rock and Bob Gruen were also on hand. — B.N.

Tommy Bayiokos dances to the beat of his own drum at Sunday's Bay Fest in Sheepshead Bay.

BAYWATCH STAYS LOCAL BayFest of Sheepshead Bay gets underway Sunday with musical guests that include the Vince Martell band, fronted by the Vanilla Fudge guitarist heard on classic tunes including "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Season of the Witch." Laura Branigan's former drummer Tommy Bayiokos will return to the Bayfest stage for the first times since 2011 to celebrate not just this event, but his 52nd birthday as well. Bayiokos is in the process of writing a screenplay about his life with the "Gloria," singer whom he was dating when she died from a 2004 brain aneurysm at 52. The festival runs from noon to 6 p.m. at Emmons Ave. on Sheepshead Bay. — B.N.

JORDAN WASN'T HOT FOR THE PART Director Ramin Bahrani convinced Michael B. Jordan to accept his role as Guy Montag in HBO's telling of Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," which airs Saturday at 8 p.m. The 31-year-old star, who plays a fireman tasked with burning books, music and all forms of "graffiti," grappled with playing an authoritative role because of the seemingly tumultuous relationship between authorities and minorities today. "It's not just your community — it's not just us," Jordan recalls Bahrani explaining to him. Jordan read the script and "naturally" pictured "black and brown faces" at the mercy of the film's misguided firemen. He divulged that surveying "how much control the media has over our perception" is another factor that attracted him to the role, admitting that he connected with Bahrani. "He's willing to die for what he believes," Jordan said, "that's something that I'm willing to do as well." — Virginia Lowman

ROYAL WEDDING PRE-GAMING Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials were toasted by The Anglosphere Society at the Colony Club on Wednesday. Bandleader Alex Donner led his band through British tunes by pop acts including The Kinks, whose 1969 song "Victoria," is about England's Queen Elizabeth, who died in 1901. — B.N.

CANNES DO SPIRIT Kristen Stewart, Adrien Brody, Grace Jones and Heidi Klum, along with her rocker boyfriend Tom Kaulitz, celebrated AmFar's 25th anniversary gala in Cannes on Thursday with party on the French Riviera, fueled by Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Rosé. We're told model Winnie Harlow shouted "I love you Paris!" across the bar to which socialite Paris Hilton shouted back "Thank you so much. I love you too." It's possible Harlow was referring to the French capitol, which is roughly 400 miles away from Cannes. — B.N.
